Hi.

We are seriously considering scrapping a Fiat Cinquecento that we have owned from new. The car's NCT is due in August, it's taxed etc. have been to a dealership (Hyundai) who have given it the thumbs up. However, today, the car has just stopped and won't start, may be electrics or a new battery. Would this mean the car can now not be scrapped?

Thanks

What is a reasonable amount of time we should expect a Toyota Previa to last? Considering buying a 2004 model (2.0-litre engine) with 231,000 miles on the clock for €2,500. Is that a decent deal?

Hi there, I'm seeking the information about a car that does have parking sensors. It's hard to know which car does have parking sensors because I look up the link and does not tell me if there is or not.

Thanks very much for your help,

Thinking of buying a 2014 Suzuki SX4 S-Cross: any thoughts on reliability etc> Has about 48,000km on the clock.

How much would I expect to get on a trade in on my 2011 Opel Insignia saloon for a 2016 Insignia?

Hi,

I just bought a Peugeot 3008 Active 1.6 HDi diesel with 35,000km on the clock. Paid €13,800 + trade in of 2005 Ford C-Max with 105,000km on the clock. Do you think I got good value? I've never had a Peugeot before; is there anything I should watch out for?

Is there a timing belt in it and if so when would this need changing?

Can I replace the climate control console with the nicer looking one that's in the Allure model?

Love your website!

I've found a 2012 Kia cee'd 1.6 diesel estate for sale for €10,000. It's an import and has about 90,000 miles on the clock. I had a Citroen Berlingo but need to switch to a car now. Do you thimk this would be a good buy? I'm mainly looking for something economical and reliable with plenty of room.

Thanks

Is 120,000 miles a lot for a 2012 Ford Mondeo 1.6 diesel? Or any diesel car with mileage like that?

Is the new 2016 electric Nissan Leaf worth buying with range of 115 miles for €25,000? Is it worth waiting for the 2018 model that  might have a range of 200 miles?
